Miele trained installer. Installation site �Do not operate the rotary iron in a room where cleaning machines are operated with solvents containing CFC. These vapors could damage the machine. The machine does not require any special anchorage or base installation. � Select a location which has sufficient light for comfortable operation. Installation � Level the rotary iron with the 4 height adjustable feet. Hold the level on the front and side columns. Air extraction � The on-site ducting must not be connected to a chimney which is used by gas, solid fuel or oil fire boilers. It must be kept separate from any dryer exhaust system. � The warm, moist exhaust should be discharged outside by the shortest route possible. � To ensure optimum air flow, the ducting should contain as few bends as possible and airtight connections. � Cover the open end at the outside with a weather hood. Condensate trap A condensate trap must be installed at the lowest point to prevent condensation from collecting in the duct. Installation instructions 16
